18: Chapter 18: Everyone's Bewildered

And now, his panel was:

[ Physical Strength: 4.52 ]

[ Energy: 6.52 ]

[ Lifespan: 118 ]

"The System only solidifies physical and mental memory; it is just equivalent to a learning cheat, but the actual work still depends on me."

Li Changsheng now understood the general use of the System. Simply put, this was a System that taught one how to fish rather than just giving them the fish.

It taught Li Changsheng the methods to save himself, but the specific implementation depended on Li Changsheng himself.

"The ten-ingredient decoction works very well for me, and fortunately, I bought enough for a month this time."

Li Changsheng felt a bit fortunate. Actually, he had wanted to buy more at the time, but unfortunately, Boss Cao had said something strange.

He said something about waiting until a month later.

This remark always felt off, though he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

After that, Li Changsheng did not brew any more ten-ingredient decoction; he kept Zhang Youdao's words firmly in mind.

Currently, Li Changsheng was suffering from a deficiency in both Qi and blood. One pot of ten-ingredient decoction a day was already a potent medicine; he could not add more, otherwise, his weakened body would be unable to handle the nourishment.

Therefore, Li Changsheng resumed his livestream. Because he hadn't streamed for one day due to a particularly bad mood, as soon as he started, many viewers immediately raised questions.

"Host, why did you take a day off?"

"Yeah, Host, you even said you quit your job. You just threw away your perfect attendance for the month with that one day off."

"The Host is finally online! Buddy, I didn't sleep well yesterday; I was just waiting for you to save me!"

[Lang Qiandie gifted the Host a rocket!]

[Yu Tianlin gifted the Host a rocket!]

Looking at the viewers' concerned inquiries, Li Changsheng explained with a smile: "Thank you all for your concern. I was just held up by something yesterday. Don't worry, I'll work overtime today. If you have any questions about training, feel free to ask me."

"Also, thank you to Lang Qiandie and Yu Tianlin for the rockets. I really appreciate it, but everyone who comes to my livestream is here to discuss things together. Actually, I don't recommend tipping."

However, Li Changsheng had just finished saying this.

Two more rockets launched, both from the same two viewers.

Lang Qiandie: Host, don't say anything. Since I've been training with you, I feel my physical condition has improved a lot. This is much better than taking medicine.

Yu Tianlin: Host, don't say anything. You cured my insomnia of many years. This small tip is just a token of my respect.

Li Changsheng felt a bit helpless; these two were quite extreme.

There was no helping it; he had already been labeled by the viewers as a health blogger and a hypnosis blogger.

It could be said that fifty percent of his livestream audience were insomniacs, and fifty percent were there to learn things.

Li Changsheng ended the stream at ten in the evening, totaling ten hours, which was two hours longer than usual.

He had to go to sleep punctually at eleven; this was a habit he had recently developed. Whether it was Traditional Martial Arts health regimens or modern medicine, sleeping before ten or eleven o'clock was the best time slot.

Sleeping past this time slot for a short while was fine, but over a long period, it would inevitably cause some damage to the body. The most obvious effect was the tendency to secrete cortisol, leading to hair loss.

Secondly, it damaged the liver.

Over the next half a month, Li Changsheng resumed his previous routine: morning runs and training, both unimpeded. Added to that was the ten-ingredient decoction, and the results during this period were surprisingly obvious.

At this time, Li Changsheng's panel also underwent earth-shaking changes.

[ Physical Strength: 4.6 ]

[ Energy: 6.8 ]

[ Lifespan: 150 ]

It seemed that even with the ten-ingredient decoction, the effect wasn't obvious, but Li Changsheng was already very satisfied.

This was because the effect of the ten-ingredient decoction seemed to be constantly weakening. Secondly, the spread of cancer cells seemed to still have an impact, deducting an indefinite amount of Lifespan and Physical Strength every day.

Only because Eight Brocades had a Breakthrough, coupled with the fact that the ten-ingredient decoction was still effective, was he able to gain the upper hand.

"When this month is over, I will ask Uncle Zhang about the next prescription."

Li Changsheng's mindset was quite good now. He began to vaguely look forward to the next Breakthrough of Eight Brocades. Perhaps after the next Breakthrough, even if the food supplement's effect was a bit weaker, he would still be able to maintain the upper hand.

Furthermore, both the Marrow Cleansing Classic and Stance Training had now entered the second level. If they all reached the third level, even if the cancer cells spread further, Li Changsheng felt he wouldn't need to worry for the time being.

However, Li Changsheng had also already reached the third level of Plucking Flowers and Flying Leaves. Perhaps because this was a skill-based technique, the ten-ingredient decoction's improvement to it was negligible.

Therefore, Plucking Flowers and Flying Leaves entering the third level was entirely achieved through grinding effort.

And what Li Changsheng did not know at this time was that the Nanshan Police Station was already going crazy.

After nearly a month of investigation and inspection, ninety percent of the staff at the police station were sporting panda eyes.

Even the youthful and beautiful Officer Yan Qinyu was sitting in front of the computer with dark circles under her eyes, processing the surveillance footage frame by frame.

"Xiao Yan, how is it going? Now that the Evidence Department and the Criminal Police Team don't have any leads, we can only start from the surveillance!"

Director Lu Feiming also had a look of exhaustion; this period had been too difficult for him.

The outside world was buzzing with rumors, saying that their police station had performed a great service. After all, Nanshan had been peaceful for too long, and for such a vicious incident to suddenly occur and then be resolved with lightning speed—how could this not be a big deal?

Consequently, not only did local media report on it, but even Tencent, seemingly to acknowledge the police station's protection, specifically featured it on Tencent News.

Good grief, Tencent News was a top-tier internet platform in the country, so everyone now knew about the Nanshan Police Station's outstanding performance.

But the more the outside world praised them, the greener Director Lu's face became. If it were to come out afterward that another vicious criminal had committed a crime, it would be a disaster.

"Director, this matter cannot be rushed. My technique in this area isn't particularly proficient; I have already improved the clarity as much as I could.

But if we want to completely restore this flying object, we still need to ask a professional. By the way, isn't Huawei Company nearby? Why don't we ask their technical experts to handle it?"

Officer Yan Qinyu suddenly remembered and suggested.

"This is a good suggestion. Then send me the clips that need technical analysis, and I will go over there and ask."

Director Lu Feiming also slapped his forehead. Although he didn't have much of a relationship with Huawei Company, they would still be willing to help with such a small favor.

Everything was networked now, so they could just contact them by phone and send the files online for the other party to process.

Facing the police station's request, Boss Ren was very generous. As soon as he heard it, he readily agreed and guaranteed that it would be processed within one hour.

An hour later, looking at the processed file sent over by Huawei Company, the entire police station conference room was so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping.

"Director, this...?"

Looking at the so-called "unidentified flying object" in the footage, which almost everyone recognized, everyone was a bit dumbfounded.

"Ahem, I'd better make a phone call to confirm this."

After a long while, Director Lu Feiming waved his hand and hurriedly walked out of the conference room. He needed to call Huawei to ask if the file was wrong, or if there was a technical issue during the Late Stage processing.
